CASE BALL.
New England League

MANCHESTER, g.; PoRTLAEDs, 4.
After the easy victory of the Portlands
over the Manchesters Tuesday many
thought the Champions would be winners
yesterday. This was not TO be, however, the
home team not playing their usual fielding
game and failing to bat Ellis when there
were men ON the bases. They had very lit
tie trouble with him Tuesday. but yesterday
he pitched slow balls which seemed to both
er the Portland batsmen considerably. Small
pitched pretty fair game but was hit freely
at intervals, enough so to give the New
Hampshire boys the runs requisite for vic
tory: The game was pretty exciting from
the fact that the score was tied for the great
or part Of the game. Several times a single
safe hit would have put the POrtlands on the
high road to success but q miserable little
pop fly was about as near as they came to it.
Many high flies were hit and the 0utfelders
had plenty to do, especially Schettier, who
had no less than seven put outs.
The Portlands filed the bases In the first
Inning ON Andrus's hit. Dickerson's base on.
balls and Hatfield being hit by pitched
ball. No one was out and it looked like bus
iness. Duffy's sacrifice brought Andrus in
and then DAWN flied out to Scheffier, and
Galligan fouled out. The P0rtlands got
another run in the fourth on Trasks wild
drus got his base on balls and stole second
and third. Dickerson flied out Hatfield
hit safe and Andrus scored. Hatfield stole
second and when Duffy hit towards third
base was caught between second and third.
Trask made wild throw and both Hatfield
and Duffy were safe. Then Hatfield was
forced out at third on Thayer's hit and later
Duffy scored on q hit by Galligan. Mean
while the Manchesters had earned run in
the third on Seheffler's double and Cough
Inns single They had also scored three
runs in the fourth on DickersOn's tumble. by
which he lost an easy chance for a double
play, which would have retired the side
without run. After that, however, a
double and a single followed and the result
was the deciding point Of the game. After
the fifth inning the score remained tied un-
til the seventh. Then Scheffier and Cough
lin got In safe hits and two put outs sent
them over the plate. In the ninth Aadrus
and Hatfield were on third and second re-
spectiyely, and safe hit would have tied
the game. Duffy and Thayer each tried for
1t but two little pop flies were all that they
could bat out.
Lufberry played his usual fine game and
Galligan made a fine catch Of ball within a
few inches of the fence. Hatfield did not
play with his ordinary vim and Dickerson
was badly off. In the third inning DAWN
was hit in the face by ground ball which
bounded on a small stone and was forced to
retire, Thayer taking his place. Dayin's in
jury was not serious but IL covered his face
With BLOOD. Scheffier played good game,
though none of his chances were very diff
cult. The score:

hours he should have been attending to it,
There is no doubt but what the girl was tenn

occurrence might have been averted had the
official referred to given her the necessary
permit to the poor farm.

mulgated by Clerk of the Overseers OF the
Poor Greenleaf, not to admit any person to

entirely unauthorized, and that he has as

LONDON, Aug. 17.-Lord Rosebery, speak

recent bye-elections showed that the hour of

Mr.. Gladstone on the Election.
Mr.. Gladstone has written letter to Mr..

Northwich election, in which he says:

This congress has been an immense misfortune
to Russia. Germany sold us. Russian statesmen,
who had full powers. were not equal to their i'm
pOrtant mission. Bismarck has revenged himself
for the support given France in 1875 during my

The letter is regarded in Paris as confirm
